Sarah Prineas

This is the third book in the triolgy about Conwater, the magic thief and his fiesty old friend the wizard Nevery Flinglass. and Sarah Princeas has written another exciting story, full of suspense and suprises. I especially
enjoyed the part about the fire dragon and Conwater looking for his locus magicalous on Dragon
Mountain.

Sarah Prineas has created a wonderful fantasy world of her own in the delightful story about a pickpocket - thief called Conwater and a crochety old wizard with the name of Nevery Flinglas.

I like the way the book is presented especially at the very end of the book where there is a detailed map showing where all the main characters live. The runic alphabet - a special way of writing, and pictures of the main characters with a few lines about each one.

This is the second book about Conwater the pickpocket thief, and the old wizard Nevery Flinglas.

At the beginning of each chapter there is a picture of the central character in the chapter - a lovely idea. Another page turning story in which Conwater is on a mission to find out why Willmet, their town is losing magic.

Plenty of ghostly happenings, magic and fighting. A good plot but the end really surprised me, but the story races along and in fact I read the whole book in nearly one go.

The Magic Thief is the most magical children's book I have read for a long time.

The characters are wonderful, the goodies and the baddies and I loved the apprentice Conn and his wizard superior Nevery Flingas. Conn starts off by being a servant and then becomes much more, he has a feel for the magic and goes about doing things that a normal boy would not do, but that doesn't matter because he is a little hero.
